TUCSON, Ariz. - If the government doesn't build security fencing along the Mexico border, Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox says he and his supporters will.
Simcox, whose civilian watch group opposes illegal immigration, said Wednesday he was sending an ultimatum to President Bush to deploy military reserves to the Arizona border by May 25 or his supporters will break ground for their own building project.
"We're going to show the federal government how easy it is to build these security fences, how inexpensively they can be built when built by private people and free enterprise," Simcox said.
Congress has been debating immigration reform for several months. One bill, approved by the U.S. House in December, calls for nearly 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. The fence proposal has angered Mexicans, with President Vicente Fox calling it "shameful."
Simcox said a half-dozen landowners along the Arizona-Mexico border have said they will allow fencing to be placed on their borderlands, and others in California, Texas and New Mexico have agreed to do so as well.
Surveyors and contractors have offered to help with the design and survey work, and Simcox said some have said they will provide heavy equipment for his Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. to build fencing.
instead of sending money to the usual suspects i'll send it to the minutemen
Right On!
I heard about this and that if everyone who agrees with it, donates $10, it will more than pay for it, I'm sure. I'm in.
Also, for all those nay sayers on building a "fence" or a "wall". When they take down the wall or fence they have around their own property/their house, then they can talk smack about it.
IOW, my neighbors are nice, but that doesn't mean I want them coming into my yard and house uninvited, at their whim, especially if they are coming over to take what does not belong to them and make demands upon me, that they have NO RIGHT to make.
Build that wall already. Go Chris, Go Minutemen!!!
Let's have a Fenceathon instead of a FReepathon.
Where do I send the check?
Fantastic idea. I'm in too.
Wanna bet the FED will send 'leo' related personnel to put a stop to this?
Vincente will complain to George who will put a stop to it.

Well our US government who is supposed to be making us safe and keeping us safe is laying down on the job, so now all our tax dollars go to welfare and we have to build our own fence. Why am I not surprised? All they want to do is pander to the illegals for their future votes. I am getting pretty sick of all politicians about now.
Europeans should voluntarily and willingly want to go home to their homeland, Europe, so that we can be completely free from Europeans.
We should be teaching the Europeans on our continent their proper shame.
The real border of these European squatters-illegals is at the Atlantic Ocean. Their homeland is Europe.
These are "White" people who are on our continent. Europeans can call themselves "Canadian" or "American" but their homeland is still Europe and they are still trespassing on our continent.

Great idea. The more that people hear about Mexicans wanting to "reclaim" the U.S. the more money the minutemen will be able to raise. I'm sick of all this entitlement talk.
Don't speak Spanish. The link is for education.
I'm not sure the U.S. government could stop this.
Besides the fences would be built on private property and I see this as a win/win for Bush. If Fox's government protests, Bush (if he's smart) can simply say that a U.S. citizen has the right to put up a fence on their own property. Fox could do nothing except maybe sue each individual landowner. And I'm betting that he wouldn't do that.
The military could guard the border while the fences are being built.
Bush and the rest of the America last crowd are not heeding the outcry against allowing illegal aliens by the thousands to invade this country unchallenged by our laws and enforcemnet of these laws.
The Senate and the House and the President are sitting on their butts with their fingers stuck in their noses responding with their stock answer, "DUH"!
Meanwhile "ROME" burns!
I'm sure you forgot your sarcasm tag.
Did you read the emails they have received? Everyone thinking these are just poor Mexican's trying to make a living needs to read these from the College Professor and others.. also, find tge ACLU using a local college van to go out to the site and harass the minutemen.
Yeah. Guess I should qualify a little.
I'll pitch in $50.
